Currently stuck on a very slow moving train to Edinburgh.
"I could peddle faster," says a woman two seats away.
First it was a problem with an overhead line. Then we were told another train had broken down ahead of us.
ITV News business editor Laura Kuenssberg tweeted:
Anyone else stuck on east coast line? Meant to be filming in Leeds - now on train no 3 - not sure how bad prob is and whether merits a story!
A few minutes later she reported:
Sad consensus seems probs on east coast so regular that not worth highlighting!
What is galling is that I debated whether to drive to Scotland but decided that four hours on a train was probably better than six hours on the road.
As things stand I will be on the train for six hours at least, probably more.
Thank God for my iPad.
Now, if only I could find my sense of humour. Oddly, it's gone missing.
Update: This train should have arrived in Edinburgh at 7.15.
It's now 8.15 and still an hour and a half - at least - to go.
